This makes me wonder. I bought an iPhone X outright and didn’t mind the original cost. But I will not be upgrading to the iPhone XS. They were able to get me to cross the $1,000 phone barrier but it almost has a negative effect because I would traditionally not blink twice upgrading every year at the previous price point.

- untog 8y agoWell, will you upgrade next year? If so, not a dramatic difference between $1000 every two years and $500 every one year. After I saw the announcement for the XS I immediately bought a used iPhone SE. $160 for a 64GB model. Even if it only lasts me a year (it won't get iOS 13, which I may or may not care about) the value for money is astronomical compared to Apple's current offerings.
- ummonk 8y agoWait, why won't it get iOS 13? Or are you saying "if it doesn't get iOS 13, it may only last a year"? It seems highly unlikely that Apple will drop the 6S and SE with iOS 13.
- scarface74 8y agoI agree. They will probably drop the 5s in 2019, the 6 in 2020 and the 6s/SE in 2021. Unless they just don’t want to support the 4 inch screen anymore.
- untog 8y agoFor some reason I had it in my head that it wouldn't. Fantastic, even more value!
- davidgould 8y agoI don't know, but I believe the reason iPhones get dropped from support is not calendar years, but rather architectural change. That is, the 32 bit to 64 bit transition dropped the old 32 bit phones after a while. So unless there is a major architectural shift I don't see why they would drop the 6s and SE.

- bluedino 8y ago$1,000 seems like a lot, but Verizon charging $46 a month instead of $32 a month doesn’t.
- endemic 8y ago$46/month is more than my voice/data costs.
